This work investigated the influence of the organic dyes N719, N3 and Z907 as photosensitizers on the photovoltaic parameters of ZnO nanorod dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It also evaluated the effect of the concentration and dipping time of the best dye, N719, on the performance of the cell. T...
